    This is about 65% Per Capita GDP before taxes.

    This should be Federal, and calculated by the 3,000 Counties, not to be lower than
    65%/50% of the lowest State's Per Capita GDP, nor higher than the 65%/50% of the
    highest State's per capita GDP. That is, if the County's Per Capita GDP is higher
    or lower than the highest or lowest State's Per Capita GDP, use the highest or lowest State's Per Capita GDP, for the 65%/50% calculation.


    Then let people not working, consume 50% of THAT, 50% of the minimum wage, which
    is 25% Per Capita GDP, by a free cash transfer.

    And let people not working, under 18, consume 50% of THAT, 25% the minimum wage,
    which is 12.5% Per Capita GDP, by a free cash transfer.


    If people work part time, their after tax net, after free cash is added, can't be
    more than full time minimum wage, of 50% Per Capita GDP net taxes.


    Then we need FREE Community College, and 2nd two years at a 4 year College or University FREE.

    Because Nepotism, favoritism to one's relatives, isn't fair.


    Then we need 100% Loan to Value primary conforming home loans. No two years income documentation, just present income like for renting.
    A 250 year fixed loan is an interest only equivalent which allows people to buy more house at the bottom. https://www.fhfa.gov/DataTools/Tools/Pages/Conforming-Loan-Limits-Map.aspx


    Free Sanitation - Dumpsters and Porta Potties for the homeless - are mandatory, and of negligible cost.


    Free Abortions - in the first trimester /14 weeks; there is no ghost in the fetus,
    and with no parental consent - this is mandatory, and of negligible cost. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minors_and_abortion#United_States
    If there is a ghost in the fetus after four months, it is like two adults attached.
    If there's NOT a ghost in the fetus, it's immoral to NOT abort, if you DON'T want
    a baby.
    There is no ghost in the fetus for the first four months. So I thought, to be safe, we'd have free abortions for the first three months, plus one week, or 14 weeks. In Sweden it's 18 weeks, or four months plus 4.7 days (4 months is 17.3 weeks). Technically the ghost enters the fetus at different times, between the beginning of the fifth month, and birth. In Canada abortion is funded by the government, it's mandatory to have it so, here too.


    Implement these 6 things. 1. Minimum Wage, 2. Cash for Consumption, 3. Education,
    4. Home Loans, 5. Sanitation, 6. Abortions. These contribute to my 10 point plan
    of SAFETHIC, which additionally includes 7. Transportation, 8. Water, 9. Power, and 10. Capital Savings:
    SAFETHIC stands for: Sanitation, Abortions, Food, Education, Transportation, Housing, Incomes, Capital Savings, & Water, Power, & Parks.

    Selling Contagious Poison, As Food And Recreation, Is My Big Question To America

    Consumers are not even warned?

    Employees are not even informed the job is to get COVID?

    Waiters don't produce equity. After the service is over there is nothing to show
    for it.

    Rather than "Non-Essential Services," "Commercial Entertainment Services" should
    be eliminated.

    People TOIL for others entertainment, and amusement? Work is CREATED this way?

    We let people take this big risk for entertainment which doesn't create any equity?

    At least people in a movie, create a movie we have for 100 years.

    "Commercial Entertainment Services:" I am talking about Broadway, Circuses, Vegas
    Shows, The Opera, Waiters, and Whores.

    If there is a substitute product, such as take-out for dine-in, then total prohibition may be alright. We should endeavor to not create an illegal market,
    but whores don't produce anything. Sex and property are the mountain between us.
    So the lack of a substitute product seems to go to just whores, and I'm not saying
    we should or shouldn't have them, but I don't agree with punishment.

    Health Clubs are not even close to the same basket as "Commercial Entertainment Services."

    Then there's haircuts, pedicures, and gardeners. The work they provide doesn't last for long.

    I think I may never hire another waiter in my life. That's not the sort of job I
    like to provide. I understand the Restaurant industry is huge. It is also apparently a huge waste. Do you want to finance more kitchens for quality take-out, or more Restaurants? We can only spend so much, and we don't have property at the bottom. Waiters, rather, should be producing equity, or going to
    school for free. Waiters could be allowed to spend the same without working, and
    it wouldn't do anything at all to the economy, people would just not 'enjoy' waiters.

    The governments would pull poisonous lettuce off the shelves, but there would be
    other lettuce for sale. They pulled Tryptophan, which killed several people, off
    the shelves for ten years, without a substitute product; do you think that was wrong? COVID is not just poisonous food for sale at Restaurants; COVID is contagious poisonous food for sale at restaurants. The government prohibits poisonous drugs to be sold as recreational party-fun. COVID is not just poison sold as recreational party-fun; COVID is contagious poison sold as recreational party-fun.

    Selling contagious poison, as food and recreation, is my big question to America.
    And taking such a big health risk, for entertainment, which doesn't produce any equity. But actually my question is why have such "Commercial Entertainment Services" work, allowed in the first place. That's what we want to trade? So the
    waiter can go out to eat, if there ever is a post-COVID? It's not going to make
    us rich. Instead he could produce, and buy, a nicer dinning room table. Rather than endless toil.
    (And porn-stars, unlike whores, yet like a table producer, and like a movie star,
    produce a product. Still, the general principle of employment law, is the work ought not be unnecessarily dangerous, unnecessarily unsanitary, unnecessarily injurious, nor unnecessarily painful. So, as to professional sports, they only sort of produce a product. I doubt they'll start playing flag football in place
    of NFL, or get rid of boxing anytime soon, but the purpose of Ultimate Fighting was supposedly to figure out which martial art works best; and have they figured
    that out?, and do we really need Ultimate Fighting? They can keep the bull-fighting in Mexico, or else we'll have dog fighting and cock fighting and other such stuff soon here. (Animal cruelty, is not a legal persuasion.) And yet
    these Sports barely produce a product, too; like you watch reruns of the NFL or Olympics much. If you want to play High School for free, or intramural, that's another matter. But the two issues are: employed to commit self-harm; and, working for other's amusement producing no equity.)

    Making salaries more equitable, could be another way to address the matter. Based
    on the above, you couldn't ever have a servant for a Birthday party, nor a Wedding. Yet still, do you need one? But having to pay more equitably, that is
    every person more equal consumption, for an hour worked; could mean not frivolously employing a waiter, vs. not paying an NFL star to risk his life. While
    we all need to hold equity and savings, we could all consume the same, but some person owns the Empire State Building.
    But even with slave labor, Waiters don't build the economy, and a lot of what is
    going on right now *is* about building the economy. At least slaves would build
    real equity. Waiters will not. So while one way of solving the problem could be
    paying more equal consumption per hour worked, thus we would not frivolously employ, nor compel risk taking, for pay, nor high pay, we do need, at the same time, to hold capital savings in private hands.

    All the above said; working to commit the self harm of risking COVID, and building
    no equity, while doing so, both at the same time, is really the big issue here. There's no argument in my mind that it's ludicrous. Even so, people need jobs, but it would be/should be, COVID that put them out of a job, but I guess people merely take risks for money, which is serious, when they have no other option.

    It's more the fruits of our Capital, that produces, than our labor. Maybe ex-waiters, and the like, should just have free cash to spend, to a degree. With
    still more incentive than that, to earn, as we need to finance Capital and Intellectual Capital - School, to make the Country yet wealthier.... Perhaps money
    if you're trying to get to School, or are going to school. The Macro-Economy is
    at stake here.

    A movie theater can be run by a few people, serving hundreds. And let's not confuse Commercial Entertainment *Services*, with Commercial Entertainment *Capital*. We do want Big Screen T.V.'s right? For if we went to prohibiting Capital, it could be anything... from Children's Toys to Christmas Trees. Anything
    that you enjoy. Still, jewelry made out of Gold is a colossal waste. People die
    mining Gold all day. Costume jewelry may be a sufficient substitute product. (In
    Russia, the waste of the likes of the Faberge Eggs - extremely expensive art - contributed the Russian civil war, and over half a century of Marxist Communism,
    which caused the Cold War.)

    Selling contagious poison, as food and recreation, while building no equity, is yet my big question to America. The more we study and think about this issue the
    richer we may become. COVID is a new and fairly unstudied topic. As the more you
    analyze, the more you know how to allocate, and the richer you become. What do logic, reason, and intelligence ultimately and further dictate? To know, we have
    to think. This is a question so far, if it's not clear.

    How is there non-essential work being done, ever. While "work from home if you can" is a great law, and taking all consumer and employee precautions, and protection, is imperative; isn't all work essential?

    Rather than "Non-Essential Services," "Commercial Entertainment Services" and perhaps "Commercial Entertainment Real Estate," should be eliminated.

    If the movie theater were a "public" structure, that could be reserved to show your rented movie to hundreds, at least we would be able to use the structure over
    and over, vs. building a movie theater or a football stadium instead of housing.
    Yet the people providing the "non-essential entertainment service" produce no equity whatsoever, and after the waiter's work is done, he goes home having produced NOTHING. No dinning room table to last years. A mere food store in the
    movie theater is notwithstanding.

    So "Public" Entertainment Real Estate," is that still bad? So, do we want "Entertainment Real Estate" at all?

    1. Real Property, 2. Personal Property, 3. Consumption.
    Service is a Consumption, unless it produces Personal Property (or Real Property).
    Consumption is all gone once the work's done. A gardener's work lasts a couple
    weeks. I guess you have memories of a waiter's service.

    Plus, is it really anyone's passion to be a waiter? How about a masseuse, or a whore, or are those even more important than haircuts as healthcare, but do people
    want to do it, how about to be in a show, on Broadway or in a play? It's their passion? You think it's not work? People should wake up happy every day to work.
    Are these people happy? Don't we want to eliminate _work_? Life is about art,
    and science, and friends.

    Should _art_ be all hobby? You can cook for your friends. Not be enslaved for other's entertainment and amusement.
